My time volunteering here helped me grow a lot as a person. The vibe of the hostel is a perfect match with the island lifestyle: relaxed, friendly and full of good energy. If you're looking for a warm, family environment, this is definitely the place for you. The team really supports each other, and it's easy to build genuine connections, not only with the staff but also with the guests. I'm very grateful for all the people I met during my stay. A special mention to Gabi, the manager, not only a great leader, but also someone I now consider a friend you can truly trust. Thanks <3

I've loved my experience here at Arena nest! I was supposed to only stay 4 weeks, but after the first week i decided to extend my stay for a full 3 months. The other volunteers are amazing and so easy to get along with. The location is super close to the beach, as well as many other beautiful places to explore. I love that the hostel is big enough where i get to meet new hostel guests daily and we can do activities together. I've gone jet skiing, whale watching, and swimming in natural swimming pools. It's been a lovely experience living here :)

I was suppoused to go to the hostel, but at the end i went to Las Eras the hostel, that it's the newest hostel of the chain. I loved beeing there. I loved it so much, that i'm still there. The staff and the other volunteers are amazing people! The Island is beautiful and there's a lot to do. Where i am, is a really small town and there's not much around, but you can always take the bus. It is really nice to be at the hostel though because there's a pool and the beach is right there. The work is not hard and the breakfast is spectacular!

Thanks Alfon for that contribution, I agree that despite the "circumstances" the clarity is a fundamental step for the harmony of the exchange. It will surely help to improve !

My experience in the hostel was amazing! I definitely recommend it :) Romy and Gera made me feel at home since the first day. Pedro and German were also very kind with me! The staff is really friendly in each the hostel locations and as we can stay in all of them for free I could get to know the island pretty well and meet beautiful souls. Hope to come back soon! Gracias por todo familia, fue un gran placer ❤️

Bruna has been a great asset to the family; her willingness, commitment, joy, and her excellent cooking have left a mark! Her tasks in the different shifts have always been completed with efficiency and effectiveness; we are happy to have chosen her profile and that she is part of the Nest family. We will be waiting for you when you return, Bruna! Have a safe trip and thank you!

I can start by saying that we were supposed to stay for 1 month and in the end we stayed for almost 4months….the hostel and the people you get to meet here are amazing. German is an incredible person, full of life and good vibes. Pedro is always taking a smile out of everyone. They both open the doors for me and my boyfriend in this experience and we will never forget that. You work 5hours a day and you are free to go. 2days off a week and you get to visit/stay in their other hostel too. Thank you for everything German and Pedro Me and ben are very greatfull. See you again soon

Great first experience at the hostel! I stayed two months. We were 4 volunteers, I met many people and worked with several volunteers as well. The house is very cute and it really feels like home. The beach is at 5mn walk and the whole coast is breathtaking. It's a pretty small city and mostly filled with tourists, but I enjoyed it anyways ! The tasks were easy to accomplish and the hours always respected. It's like taking care of a home, really. I saw German and Pedro only once but they were very nice ! I strongly recommend for people who like nature, calm, and homelike places

The experience with the hostel was great. The work itself was as described in the offer, the hostel has its task organization for each shift. Weekly schedules are shared in advanced so you can get organized to make your trips around the island. All the volunteers and managers are amazing people and fun, this really makes the experience extra special! Thank you Pedro and German! On the "downside", the bikes, surfboards at the disposal are not in top condition to use, and sadly they didnt have a tourguide at the time i was there so no tours either, but that was just bad luck.

The experience at the hostel was amazing. It was my first experience as a volunteer and it exceeded all expectations. the shifts are 5 hours and the tasks are very simple such as preparing breakfast for the guests, watering the plants, changing the sheets, and generally keeping the hostel clean. schedules are organized in advance, this allows you to organize your free days and days well. The uniqueness of being a volunteer at the hostel is that on free days you can sleep at the other hostels for free, there are six of them and they are strategically located throughout the island.
